I always ask myself at the end of the month, “what did we do this month”?”. I won’t remember off bat but if I look at my instagram account or my Iphone camera roll, it pretty much captures our life in pictures. I made extra effort to be outdoors in September, knowing the colder and […]

I love bite size food and really loved it when desserts come in mini size. I just love the thought of being able to take a bite and savoring it, without the guilt of not finishing it when the portions are too big. They say the best bite is the first one. I first discovered […]

What I look forward to in September is the renewed attitude towards goals. Maybe it’s just me, but September marks a new beginning whether new routines, new outlook on things or new school year when I was younger. However, we are having a delayed heat wave here in SoCal. We are currently in the hottest […]

I love to take pictures and for years, all those pictures just stayed in my computer hard drive. How sad is that? Now, I find ways to be creative in displaying pictures all over the house, besides, you know, the typical picture frame. I’m starting to collect photo magnets using my instagram pictures. I order […]

Today’s guest poster is my friend Glenn. We both have something very dear in common, my nephew Jonah. Jonah is both our first nephew so we both have fun in spoiling Jonah and then we give him back to his parents when we are done. Glenn is a foodie, he loves food and he […]

Once you have a baby, everything changes. But I didn’t realize that how I approach cooking would also drastically change. There’s definitely a mental shift of how I spend time in the kitchen now. When I look for recipes nowadays, I look for recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, can be made in […]

600 miles and 24 hours later, I am home sweet home. I don’t know when I’ve felt more tired, driving solo for 4 hours or the morning after a long race? 4 hours is the longest time I have ever been driven straight and I did it twice in the last 24 hours. I did the […]

I love baking. I make decadent dessert recipes and I make healthy ones. The cookies I have been enjoying is definitely on the healthier side. Eating cookies is not the healthiest food you can eat, but if you can make them healthier and still taste good, this is how I imagine they would taste. These […]

My workout this morning was a challenging one. My muscles have been missing the muscle burn. For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying more cardio type of workouts….running, hiking and indoor gym workouts. I wanted to try something new to get back into strength training and this DVD is new to me. I’ve […]

Not technically Wordless Wednesday. I gotta say something, always 🙂 These are pictures from the island of Boracay in the Philippines. The island is very small, I think it’s only a few miles wide. One of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to Mexico and Caribbean beaches. When I went for a […]

I loved October. It felt balanced and all around good vibes. Fall décor at the house. Loving the white small pumpkins. We did the Breast Cancer Walk, my brothers and sisters joined me and the weather was great. I’m thinking of framing that palm tree picture I took below. I wore pink shoes, pink jacket […]

vacationing at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for our family vacation. We were there all week last week. enjoying the beach view, all-inclusive food and drinks and relaxing in general catching up on my sleep. I slept a glorious 8-9 hours every night eating “catch of the day” every day for lunch. I never get sick […]
